And since accessories are the key to completing any fall outfit, you can instantly revitalize your entire wardrobe simply by adding in some more handbags. How's that for frugal fashion? So, let's not waste anymore time and let's start shopping the incredible fashion handbag trends of 2018. Your love of handbags is certain to be catered to this fall season!

The Oversized Hobo

As the saying goes, go big or go home and that's definitely the fall trend for hobo handbags and oversized totes that have a bit of slouch. This trend is definitely one of our favourites because it's just as chic as it is practical. You can pair an oversized hobo with a sleek number or with some leggings, and it's the perfect size for storing all of your fall accessories. From mittens to hats, scarves, makeup, notebooks for back to school - you name it.

The Bucket Bag

One of the most unique handbag trends for fall 2018 is the bucket bag. The bucket what? Yes, it's a handbag that looks like a bucket. 

The bucket bag handbag trend offers a structured look while still providing you with all the space you need to store your belongings. So, if dragging an oversized hobo into the office doesn't work with the dress code, having a bucket bag is an excellent alternative that is slightly more elegant.  The best part? Bucket bags can be taken straight from the boardroom to the bar.

The Box Bag

On the opposite side of the handbag spectrum, found far way from the slouchy, unstructured trend of oversized boho bags you'll find the box handbag trend. And yes, it's exactly what is sounds like - a handbag that is shaped and styled like a box. 

This look is refined and structured, but can be cool and casual depending on the fabric and print you choose.  Plus, it's entirely unique to what the handbag trends have seen in the past. So, might as well have some fun with it!

The Back to School Backpack

Backpacks are back - but they aren't just for going back to school. From classic school bags to elegant rucksacks, this is an amazing fashion trend that is perfect for all those fall adventures you're about to embark on. After all, there are few things worse than trying to lug a massive handbag through a corn maze!

So, shop the endless world of chic backpacks. Opt for pleather, applique or quilted styles to keep your look more chic than schoolgirl.

Bow Down to the Practical Clutches

What's not to love about chic clutches that are strategically designed to make the entire style much easier to carry? Easy-to-carry clutches are all the rage right now and we love them because you simply slip your hand through the design and it clings to your wrist effortlessly. Gone are the days of dropping your clutch in puddles and public bathroom floors. This fashion handbag trend keeps your prized possessions safe.

This clutch trend is also about styles that are much larger than normal clutches which makes them even more practical. They aren't quite a handbag but they aren't quite a clutch. So, you can easily store your must-haves such as your I.D., lipstick and cash without having the resort to your bra as an extra pocket. 

If these type of clutches aren't your thing, have no fear. Chain clutches are also in and they allow you to sling your clutch over your shoulder for even-easier carrying.

Fashion accessories are definitely the most important element to any look. With the right handbag for fall, you can take a cozy casual outfit and turn it into a boho chic masterpiece that makes the sidewalk your runway. So, head on over to Mikaree and pick up all your handbag needs before the fall begins.
